Juan Perez went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored as the Giants topped the Diamondbacks in Sunday's Cactus League tilt.

With Hunter Pence sidelined for the start of the regular season, Perez has an opportunity to seize playing time in the Giants outfield with a strong showing this spring. Thus far, he's hitting .286 (6-for-20) with three doubles, three RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

Travis Ishikawa is on the bench, as Giants manager Bruce Bochy is trying to put his best defense out there in the deciding game of the World Series. The full lineup: Gregor Blanco CF, Joe Panik 2B, Buster Posey C, Pablo Sandoval 3B, Hunter Pence RF, Brandon Belt 1B, Michael Morse DH, Brandon Crawford SS, Perez LF. Tim Hudson will start for San Francisco while Kansas City will counter with Jeremy Guthrie.

Juan Perez clobbered a two-run double in the eighth inning on Sunday, helping to lead the Giants to a victory over the Royals in Game 5 of the World Series, taking a 3-2 lead in the series.

Perez entered the game as a defensive replacement for Travis Ishikawa and in his first plate appearance smashed a Wade Davis offering off the top of the wall to provide a pair of insurance runs. Perez is now 4-for-21 with three RBI in the postseason.

Juan Perez is starting in left field for the Giants in NLDS Game 4 on Monday against the Nationals.

Perez gets the nod over Travis Ishikawa, who started in left field in the first three games of the series but will take a seat versus Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez. Perez is a right-handed hitter and Ishikawa hits lefty. The full Game 4 lineup for San Francisco: Gregor Blanco CF, Joe Panik 2B, Buster Posey C, Hunter Pence RF, Pablo Sandoval 3B, Brandon Belt 1B, Carl Crawford SS, Juan Perez LF, Ryan Vogelsong SP.

Perez has batted just .156/.208/.267 in 50 plate appearances this season at the major league level. Ehire Adrianza (hamstring) was activated from the 15-day disabled list in a corresponding 25-man roster move.

Juan Perez went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Reds.

Perez's homer -- his first of the season -- in the top of the sixth inning off of Tony Cingrani staked the Giants to a 3-2 lead, which they would hold over the final four innings. The outfielder was recently recalled to serve as depth while Matt Cain is on the disabled list. Perez has played sparingly and hit sparingly, as evidenced by his .120/.154/.280 slash line in 28 plate appearances.

Panik played the last two days after missing two games with a stiff back, but now he's on the bench again. Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that the infielder should be available off the bench, but he doesn't expect to start him for a few days. Ehire Adrianza will get another start at second base Sunday.

He then went to receive treatment afterwards as he continues his recovery from a degenerative condition in both hips. If he rebounds nicely from this, he could be cleared to begin mound work early next week. There is still no clear timetable for his return to the Giants, and likely no rotation spot available once he does make it back.

Giants placed RHP Tim Hudson on the disabled list with a right shoulder injury.

Hudson spent time on the DL earlier this season with a shoulder ailment, although both times it's looked like a phantom injury. There's no longer a spot in the rotation for the veteran following the acquisition of Mike Leake.
